Guidebook for Austin
Shopping
Central Market is a great piece of Austin. It's a grocery store and so much more. On Friday & Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons, the cafe features live music. I can't imagine Austin without this iconic market.

Food Scene
There are several locations. This is one of Austin's pizza fixes. Funny, it pays tribute to "Detroit style pizza". I grew up in Metro Detroit and never heard of "Detroit style pizza". But Via 313 is the best pizza in Austin, for sure.

1950's diner motif. This is a local favorite, especially for breakfast (which is served until 10:30am). It's a traditional restaurant for breakfast (meaning a waiter will serve you at your table).
Lunch and dinner is fast food style (order at the counter and then take a seat and wait for your number to be called).
***Save yourself the parking headache if you go for breakfast. Just park across the street at one of the fast food places that isn't open for breakfast.

Arts & Culture
Every city has a pop culture scene "must see". Austin has several. Castle Hill is a "graffiti park" and a local hot spot for portraits.

Parks & Nature
One work... Peacocks. Okay, that's not really fair. I'll tell you more. This is a little park right next to another iconic Austin location. There are peacocks everywhere, roaming freely on the grounds. It's very cool.

Sightseeing
This is without a doubt, the most breathtaking view in Austin. It's a sunset thing, but honestly, pretty any time of the day. Parking is a bear. Wear good shoes. It's quite a climb, even if you take the stairs.

It doesn't make sense to visit the capital of Texas and not go see the Texas State Capital. Even if you don't choose to take the guided tour, the building is very impressive. Go see it.

Drinks & Nightlife
It's Austin and it's Texas. You need to experience music and BBQ in the same venue. You will likely need to get tickets for Stubb's.
